Congressman Darrell Issa, the Chairman of the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee, is hopping mad.

After months of waiting, the IRS still hasn’t provided his committee with the emails and documents that are necessary for Congress’ ongoing investigation.

Instead, the man Obama hired to clean up the IRS, John Koskinen, continues to stonewall the Committee. He answered questions during testimony and even had the chutzpah to say that providing the IRS documents and emails could take years. Several members were visibly angry.

The flash point was the issue of accessing Lois Lerner’s email. ... [T]he standoff continues. Lerner won’t testify, and the IRS won’t give Congress Lerner’s emails, which would reveal what she was doing and what she was telling the frontline IRS workers. It’s a shameful debacle.

Even more disheartening is that the man tasked with cleaning up the IRS has now turned into a cover-up artist. We expect the IRS to treat everyone the same, regardless of political views. The notion that certain people, like Catherine Engelbrecht, were targeted because of their political views is a frightening prospect.
